Doing Up Reagan.
New YORK, December 16th.-When Jack
Dempsey walked into the office of the
Police Gazette to receive his check for $1,000
and the diamond-studded belt, no one
would have supposed that he had fought
battle of forty-tive rounds with so good
man ss Reagan on Tuesday. There was
not mark on his face. He limped slightly
from the squirting inflicted by the spike on
the toe Of Reagan's shoe. Fox handed
Dempsey $1,000 and box containing Kill
rains colors.
"It was pretty hard fight, said Demp-
sey, " and though do not think that Rea-
gan is any match for me, he is game man.
The way l was spiked was outrageous.
Reagan, instead of wearing spikes in his
shoes about an inch from the side and
toward the center OF his foot had one of
the spikes right under his big toe. He
spiked me twice. In the second round he
spiked me, tearing the tendons right out of
my leg"

Exorclsing "a Hoodoo.

Charles w. Strawthers and wife removed
to Lansing recently from Cassopolis and
became acquainted with colored sister
named Mrs. Elizabeth Lee. Soon after, so
they claim. Mrs. Lee commenced to exert
a terrible influence over them and they
became bewitched by her power. Their
house was overrun with toads and Shiny,
winged serpents, which they killed in
great numbers. The very sight of Mrs.
Lee made them feel as If they had been
struck on the head with club, and when
they tried to carry water from the well to
the house the pail grew so heavy that it
had to be dropped. Finally the Lord came
to their rescue and told them that the
spell might be broken by drawing blood
from their oppressor. They set upon her
with darnng needles the other evening.
She had them arrested for assault. In de-
fault of SIS fine they went to Jail for so

The Boodler In Canada.

w. j. McGarigle, the Chicago boodler
who lay in Chicago jail under sentence of
three years and leaked through q bath
tub while he was taking bath about
week ago, was landed at Point Edward
The other morning about s o'clock
from the schooner Edward Blake,
on which he was suspected as leaving
Chicago. Detectives at once followed the
Blake. and how that vessel could have
passed the straits without being seen, is a
mystery, the solution Of which seems to
be that the vessel must have placed an
other name over her own and thus passed
down unmolested.
Now that McGarigle has safely reached
Canadian shores, speculation has turned
to the question of how, If at all his return
may lie brought about. His extra dition
on the charge on which he was convicted
is, of course out of the question. 1t has
been suggested, however, that out of some
of his crooked work on various county
bills, estimates. etc., case of forgery
might be made. This would bring the
matter under the provisions of the treaty.
State Attorney Grinnell is unable to say
whether the matter would bear that con-
struction or not but thought the point
well worth looking up.
